Steamed Red Potatoes with Lite Cream Sauce
This was really a last-minute throw together idea I came up with for my family after watching a few other cooking shows and thinking there had to be a faster, healthier way to make something tasty out of red potatoes that our picky teenagers would actually enjoy--so this was honestly the result of a little quick experimenting. I truly hope you enjoy and may God bless!

Wash and clean all of the red potatoes and cut them into chunks--I did mine into quarters so they all steamed through evenly. You might want to layer them all in your steamer to ensure even cooking. Our steamer took ~45 minutes to cook the potatoes fork-tender; however, follow your manufacturers instructions. While you are waiting on the potatoes to cook, combine remaining ingredients in large metal mixing bowl. Fill small saucepan halfway to three-quarters full with water then heat to gently boiling. Place metal mixing bowl of spices, butter, cheese & milk over saucepan & whisk until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy. You can turn the heat on the saucepan down to low and leave the improvised double-boiler (which we made in the previous 2 steps) warm until the potatoes are done steaming. Once the timer on your steamer goes off and while the potatoes are nice and hot gently incorporate them into the large metal mixing bowl of cream sauce. Fold the potatoes into the sauce once you get everything into the same mixing bowl. Serve while nice & hot since it will cool quickly.
